A good run up on the Saturday saw 326 running well with the electronic ignition still bedding in. However, the carburettor now squeals on the over-run very loudly so a strip down and re-build will be in order this winter.
The show was slightly re-jigged this year - same arena but the vehicles were parked further down the runway which made sense.
Saturday was relatively quiet - there were fewer vehicles than last year especially with no NFS-AFS fleet and fewer vehicles from the RAF Firefighting Museum, although they did have a very nice LFB 1970s Dennis...... However, there were 5 goddesses on the Saturday - all the better for the goddess rivet counters to compare bodywork by the different body builders!
By 3pm on the Saturday, the heavy rain showers had scared off most punters so a gap in the rain meant a run for home.
Sunday dawned much brighter and drier and there were more vehicles there than the Saturday, with an additional 6th goddess! The crowds were much better too, which was nice, so lots of people looking at the vehicles and wandering around, and watching the arena displays too.
One event this weekend - on the way up to Newark on Sunday, the goddess ticked over 7,000 miles!
A good weekend, the show is moving to late July next year apparently.
